Happy V Day!

Still working on the weekly challenge, but I did this for last week's Illo Friday - Happy Valentines day to everyone!

Also, I used this sketch for a tutorial on how to make your pencil sketch look like an inked drawing - I'd love some feedback on it (my methods are trial and error, I've never had a photoshop class), and any other tips anyone has!

I concur. The idea that the monkey would hold a can of tab, in it's foot is really amusing too. love the detail of the banana (with bite taken out of it) logo on the laptop cover. nice pun.

I tend to read (see) the outstretched right foot, as his other hand, and at first I thought he might have three arms, because of the placement of the right hand on keyboard I was a little confused! This is just an idea - so don't take it the wrong way, but maybe a gesture in the air with the right hand/arm might help to offset reading the picture that way... scratching his head? biting a nail? resting elbow on laptop hand on chin... thinking. Or you could leave it alone, as it is a lovely illustration, and pay no heed to my prattling.
